As the Commonwealth turns...


For the past two years Lousiville had begun to surpass its big brother in the world of college basketball. Enter John Calipari. The heated rivalry was drenched in gasoline with the addition of Coach Cal and the first 45 seconds of this game saw more intensity than I have seen from a sporting event in years. Elbows, knees, 6 fouls in 45 seconds including 2 technicals. But what matters most is that despite poor shooting and emotion, the Wildcats downed Lousville 71-62 and moved to 15-0, their best start in over 40 years. I'm hoping now that some of the marquee games are behind them, the Cats can focus on trying to run the table in the SEC. They have a home game against Georgia next Saturday, but 3 days later must travel to Gainesville to take on the Gators. Getting past that game would be a huge step for this rapidly improving, young team.
On on U of K.
